Ploughshares says “no” to “Model Crow.” So once again, I’m off to the market
to see where else this story might go. I discovered (to my chagrin) that many
publications close their doors to submissions through the summer months, so
although I sit on a nice stack of poems and stories ready for the slush pile,
I’ve no where to send them.

In the meantime, I concentrate on my website work. I began the process of
splicing together Sunset Office Cleaning’s design and setting up the proper
style sheets that will display their website brilliantly across the net. Once
this is off my plate, I hope for some more opportunities through the coming
winter months to continue to expand my repertoire.
